The Hearing Foundation of Canada (THFC) is the largest hearing-focused charity funding research in the auditory sciences in Canada. Thanks to support from donors across Canada, THFC has partnered with Canadian universities and hospitals to award more than 50 scientific and clinical research grants of up to $25,000 since 2000. THFC is proud of the projects funded through its small but thriving program and currently invests more than $100,000 annually to support medical research into different areas of hearing loss.

Our current granting cycle is closed and we are not accepting applications for 2016. Please check back for future Calls for Proposals.

Our Medical Research Committee includes dedicated medical research scientists and doctors who volunteer to review grant proposals from across Canada for hearing research funding. The committee is chaired by Dr. Manohar Bance, Head of the Department of Otolaryngology at Dalhousie University.
